The Canberra Innovation Network’s (CBRIN) new Scale Up Hub is officially open, providing a new space to accommodate Canberra’s growing entrepreneurial community. CBRIN is a not-for-profit innovation network founded in 2014 to help diversify the ACT economy and drive business growth in Canberra. The organisation is celebrating 10 years this month and has played a major role in shaping the city's booming innovation economy and ecosystem during that time. The ACT Government has enabled the allocation of additional space in the Government owned Moore Street building for CBRIN to double the size of its lease to accommodate an extra 170 entrepreneurs. The Scale Up Hub provides a dedicated space for Canberra-based startups and small-to-medium enterprises to collaborate and grow. The ACT Government supports start-ups in a number of ways, including the ICON grants program, and will launch a new venture capital fund in 2025. The venture capital fund will support small businesses and start-ups within our knowledge intensive sectors to realise their potential, and support growth that will create new jobs in the ACT.

The latest New Wave program has concluded in yet another inspiring Showcase where three deserving teams went home with a share of $15,000 to help move their ventures forward! 👏 Please join me in congratulating the winners of the New Wave Cohort 14 Showcase! 🏆 First Prize sponsored by Westpac: Seals - Led by Kate Parsons, with her brilliant team, Michaela Murphy, Lillian (Lily) Ott, and Tam Nguyen.
